The triple (J’s represent gracious, gentle, and gay, while the C’s stand for clothes, cosmetics, and calories—this is the goal of the club, to know as much as possible about individuality and personality.

C. The inspiration to form this cluh came to Edward Rohde, now president of the club, in an English class in which there were six boys all interested in dance music. These boys, and all members of the a cappclla choir or the school orchestra, started a club of chosen mu- Outdoor Fashions V - »A'C for the Outdoor Season • Colton dresses for tennis dates and formal dresses! • Swimming suits in every color! ® Jigger coats . . mean summer swaggers!

Along about 12 o'clock I thought I would talk over old times with Bud, but when I turned his way my tired and trusty friend was Asleep at the Switch. At the finish, the woman next to me, who seemed to be on, said the main actor was dying. After it was too late, Sadie seemed kind of sorry. She hollered and screamed for awhile and then at 12:25 the curtain dropped. Never again for my money. Far be it from me knocking, but anytime I want noise. I'll move into a boiler factory or Penn station where 1 can understand what's coming off. I'm for a good show. Do you remember the White Slave, foe? Well, that's me. Wasn’t it nifty where the main lady spurned the leering villain’s gold and exclaimed with flashing eye, Hags arc royal raiment when worn for virtue's sake. The White Slave had this opera beaten to a pulp, and they don’t get you for three cases gate-money, either. —William Crane. Girls’ Literary Society Has 1-amoue Ancestry Although boys were originators, girls carried clubs through the years by Louise DuBois When the Madison High School Literary Society was founded in 1894, it had about fifteen members—all boys. Membership and activities gradually increased and in 1905 the Forum Society was organized. This group participated in oratorical contests and inter-society debates. The meetings of the Forum Society were held in the city hall while the new high school was being built, and heated debates and discussions played a major part in the programs. However, interest in the society waned, and in 1909 it disbanded. Through the influence of Principal fones, the club was reorganized in 1911. This organization, with a membership of forty boys, held meetings weekly at the boys’ homes. It had a threefold purpose: to give members an intelligent idea of problems of the day, to train them in the use of a library and in the arrangement of material, and to enable them to speak with liberty before an audience. Recommendation from the faculty and satisfactory trial work on two de- bates were required for membership to the club. Even after initiation anyone who proved undesirable was expelled. Their programs were interesting and varied. Topics were given on current events, and extemporaneous speaking contests were held. On alternate weeks there were debates on such timely subjects as woman sufTrage, coeducation, income tax, inheritance tax, government ownership of railroads, and the eight hour working day. Because of a heavier school program, and a more concentrated line of study, the club was again broken up, and has been extinct as a boys' organization ever since. It was not long before the girls took an interest in literature and formed a society called the Nautilus. A later organization, founded for the same purpose, was Philomathia. The objects of the Nautilus club were: to give the girls mutual help and improvement, to increase knowledge of literature and develop critical power, and to make literary knowledge tend to create character development. Miss Ruth Kentzler, dramatics director at Central, was a member of Philomathia Society, and much of the following information comes from her. This group studied the lives and works of famous authors and poets. Topics on these subjects filled the program. The early literary societies were taken seriously, and it was a great privilege to Ik elected to one, stated Miss Kentzler. Election of club officers was also an important event, because the offices took the place of our present day honor societies. Although interest in these clubs was keen for some years, they were again disrupted, and Central was without a literary group until six years ago when Miss Julia Tormey organized the present Girls’ Literary Society.

Members were selected by Miss Beda Hand, editorial sponsor, and Miss Ann Junginger, business advisor, on the following basis incorporated in the constitution of the society: Candidates must be of junior or senior classification: they must be in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing at the time of their election; they must have done superior work in writing, editing, or in business management; they must be recommended by the supervisor or by the committee governing publications: they must be approved by the national secretary-treasurer of the society. Olympic . . . (cont'd from page 25) burg. Illinois. In the year of 1922, he became head basketball and baseball coach and assistant football coach at the University of Iowa. This position he held until 1929 when he gained a similar post at the University of Southern California, where he is at the present time. In Dr. Arnold Jackson, affectionately known to his friends as Babe, we find the first president of the Olympic Club, the editor-in-chief of the 1912 Tycobcrahn, chairman of the From committee, secretary of the Olympic athletic board, and a prominent participator in scholastic affairs. After leaving Central, he attended the University of Wisconsin and the Columbia Medical College; he took his bachelor's degree at the University of Minnesota and from there he went to the Mayo Clinic. In the year of 1921, he came to the Jackson Clinic to begin his work in Madison. In his medical career he specializes in diseases; his book, Goitre and Other Diseases of the Thyroid Gland,” is considered of high rating and he has in his possession letters of commendation from surgeons from countries all over the world.

He was captain of the 1911 state championship track team. In football he played the position of quarterback; in the aforementioned TVeoberahn, John was credited with speed and grit and an enviable reputation shown by his ability to carry the ball down the field. He is now in business at the Blied Hardware Company on West Main Street. In the Town Gossip of several years past, is related the “Tragedy of the Unused Spoon, an incident in which featured both Barry and Blied. In the year 1909, the football team was promised, by a freshman girl, a seven course dinner if they would win the championship. Well, they won, and the girl was reminded of her promise. All the preparations were made for the dinner, and it was an elaborate affair to which the football team sat down. But the young hostess had forgotten to invite the “subs,” who, being slightly put out, stole the ice cream from the kitch- 30

Don OToole, Don Dudley, Bill Crane, Vernon Swenson, Ralph Wicg, Charles Speth, and Van John Bcran. A dance orchestra, now known as tlte Musicians' Club Orchestra, was soon organized. From then on this group has played at all the social functions at Central and at many outside events. The members lost by January graduation were Bolt Octking, clarinet; Van John Bcran, dancer and comedian; Lawrence Finch, cello and secretary; Art SVcngcl, director and vocalist; Stan Thompson, sax. In their places were added other capable players from the school orchestra, some of whom were girls. The new members were Sam Knopow, shifted to director; Yvonne Nasct. sax; Nick Margetis, shifted to sax; Irene Schwarz, violin; Bob Goodrich, whistler and trombone. After winning the audition held by a representative of the Major, this group played with the Major Bowes Unit No. 6 at the Orphcum Theater, and later had a radio program over the Portage station, WIBU, on Saturday nights at 6 o'clock, among their numerous other activities. Other schools upon hearing of this enterprizing organization, started their own clubs, the foremost being Billy l-ec's band at Hast and Jack Sylvester’s at West. “Both of these groups show a remarkable conception of how dance music should be played and a fine spirit, said Eddie Rohde, after watching them both play. “We musicians of Central feel proud of our part in bringing to the Madison High schools music clubs which will offer enjoyment to the pupils and a musical start in the dance band field.
